my ex-sister-in-law got re-married on saturday in laguna beach. we're still quite close with her and she asked me to do her flowers. it was a very small wedding. a ceremony on the beach followed by a luncheon reception for maybe forty people. on friday night my mom and i headed down to spend the night. one of my dad's good friends is renting a place on the ocean side of the pch in laguna beach and offered to let us stay there. it was amazing. he has a view of the ocean and a walkway down to the beach. i fell asleep listening to the crashing waves, which is a most excellent sound to fall asleep to. (i hope you all have had the experience.)

here are a few pictures of the flowers and the friendly parrots at the luncheon restaurant:

bridal bouquet and bridesmaids corsages

the blue parrot was a little testy, but the red one was quite curious indeed

"I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…" - Rainer Maria Rilke
